I became a Sword Emperor in the Martial Arts World

Chapter 53DDDD

When the name "Ye Qingzhou" was uttered by Nangong Yi, not only were the two commentators dumbfounded, but the audience also found it unbelievable.

"Ridiculous! If Ye Qingzhou wins the championship, I'll livestream myself doing a handstand and eating shit!"

"I admit Ye Qingzhou is quite skilled, but his martial arts foundation isn't fully developed. The gap between him and Zhu Jinfeng and Liu Dingjian is too big. He probably won't even make it to the finals, let alone win the championship?"

"That's to say, the Phoenix Wing Golden Bones of the Zhu Clan of Danxia and the formidable Sword Bones of the Liu Clan of Xingcheng offer tremendous enhancements to physique and internal energy. How can Ye Qingzhou possibly win?"

The comments section is in an uproar. If Nangong Yi didn't come from a wealthy family and be rich, everyone would suspect that he was paid to speak up for Ye Qingzhou.

Even the female commentator, Xin'er, couldn't contain her curiosity and asked Nangong Yi, "Could you tell me why you're so optimistic about Ye Qingzhou, Yi Shen?"

Nangong Yi shook his head: "It involves conflicting interests and confidential matters. I can only say that those who know, know; and those who don't, I can't say more."

The matter of Ye Qingzhou killing Zhan Lie of Xin Sha Liu is still under investigation, so it cannot be disclosed to the public casually. What if it alerts the enemy?

No one knows whether Zhan Lie has any other accomplices lurking in Xingcheng.

Ye Qingzhou's ability to directly defeat Zhan Lie, a professional sixth-dan martial artist, is enough to prove his skill. Although Zhu Jinfeng and Liu Dingjian are excellent, they would probably have difficulty escaping if they faced a martial arts wanted criminal like Zhan Lie alone.

Therefore, it can be concluded that Ye Qingzhou's momentum to win the championship is unstoppable.

In the Qian section of the competition, everyone's eyes were instantly focused on Ye Qingzhou, especially Zhu Jinfeng and Liu Dingjian. Both of them were very curious as to why Nangong Yi was so certain that Ye Qingzhou would win the championship.

Leon was also very curious: "Holy crap, Master Ye, what earth-shattering, awe-inspiring thing have you done this time?"

"no."

Having received two million in "hush money," Ye Qingzhou naturally adhered to professional ethics and did not reveal a single word to the outside world about killing Zhan Lie.

Unless Leon is willing to pay more.

"No, Master Ye, you're definitely hiding something from me."

Then Leon's gaze swept back and forth between Ye Qingzhou and Xu Yuebing, and he tentatively asked, "Master Ye, I've heard that the Hehuan Sect's ultimate technique, the Yin-Yang Intercourse Divine Skill, can harmonize Yin and Yang through spiritual communion and enhance internal energy cultivation in a short time using the secret art of absorbing nourishment. You two wouldn't...?"

"Leon, shut up!"

Upon hearing the words "spiritual communion," Xu Yuebing seemed to have been struck on a sore spot.

Amidst laughter and chatter, the Round of 16 matches quickly began.

"Liang Sheng, No. 004, from Nanjing Normal University Affiliated High School, will face off against Xu Yuebing, No. 021, from Linjiang No. 1 High School."

Xu Yuebing stood up and walked towards the ring.

Halfway there, Ye Qingzhou whispered a reminder to her: "Remember, you only have one chance. You must strike unexpectedly and catch her off guard."

Xu Yuebing nodded solemnly upon hearing this; she was determined to win this round!

While the two players were still preparing, the commentator took the opportunity to introduce the two players' identities and skill levels to the audience.

"In this match, Liang Sheng from Nanjing Normal University Affiliated High School held an absolute advantage; his 'illusion sword' technique remains unbroken to this day."

Xin'er then started talking about Xu Yuebing, and then said in surprise, "There are actually four players from Linjiang No.1 Middle School in this year's top 16 competition."

Nangong Yi looked surprised upon hearing this, since the top 16 of the sword fighting tournament usually included sword geniuses from all over Hunan Province, and even some geniuses from other provinces would come to participate.

Therefore, it is already very rare for a high school to have two players enter the round of 16.

It's unheard of for four people to make it into the knockout stage together.

It's even more unbelievable that there's an ordinary player like Ye Qingzhou who has the potential to win the championship.

The prodigal son laughed and said, "In recent years, the country has vigorously promoted martial arts and cultivated martial arts geniuses among the common people. Now it seems that this has been a visionary move with fruitful results."

Although Nangong Yi came from a family of martial arts practitioners, he was happy to see the arrival of a golden age of martial arts. Therefore, he said with a smile, "If Ye Qingzhou wins the championship this year, then the common martial artists of Hunan Province will have truly risen to prominence."

The whistle blew.

The competition has officially begun.

"Let's see what kind of exciting match Liang Sheng and Xu Yuebing can present to us."

Liang Sheng moved swiftly and launched the first attack.

Of the six styles, he is proficient in the wind style and masterful in the yin style. His greatest skill is concealing his form and interfering with his opponent's perception and judgment, thereby launching a surprise attack to win.

Clang~

Layers upon layers of sword light enveloped Xu Yuebing, blurring the lines between reality and illusion.

Under Ye Qingzhou's special training, Xu Yuebing also received the Heart-to-Heart Method and was granted the Heart Sword Secret Technique. As a result, her cultivation advanced by leaps and bounds. She had mastered the wind technique and was proficient in the yin technique, and her foundation was not much different from Liang Sheng's.

What she lacks is actually fighting skills and competition experience.

Therefore, Ye Qingzhou devised a tactic for her called "killing at first sight"!

Victory or defeat hinges on a single move!

Once the match becomes a close contest, Xu Yuebing, who is lacking in skill and experience, will inevitably lose!

At this moment, Xu Yuebing closed her eyes tightly and focused all her senses on hearing, using the sound of the wind to pinpoint the location of her opponent.

Clang~

All was darkness, except for the sound of a longsword vibrating in his ears.

"Got you!"

Xu Yuebing activated her inner energy, and a gentle breeze swept up a cloud of sand, scattering it towards Liang Sheng.

This move was created by Ye Qingzhou, based on the force of the wind, and is called Flying Sand.

To put it bluntly, it's the infamous, low-down tactic of sprinkling lime, which, though vulgar, has caused countless renowned masters throughout history to suffer defeat, proving its enduring popularity.

"what!"

Liang Shengren was in mid-air when, caught off guard, his face was covered in sand and dust.

"Now!"

Xu Yuebing drew her sword, integrating all her strength with the power of a dragon-slaying and tiger-taming master, and further enhanced by the sword energy within her inner wind. With a single thrust, she brought the dragon to its zenith!

puff~

The longsword pierced through his chest, deliberately avoiding his heart, but even so, Liang Sheng was still severely injured and collapsed to the ground.

"Xu Yuebing wins!"

"Quickly, find Dr. Zhong to treat her!"

Ye Qingzhou had already grasped the essence of the Illusion Sword, and then gave Xu Yuebing, who was walking towards him, a knowing smile: "This sword strike was not bad, it only made four mistakes."

Xu Yuebing, who had been all smiles and in a cheerful mood, suddenly turned serious, glaring at Ye Qingzhou through gritted teeth: "You didn't have to say the second half of that sentence!"

"I'm just afraid you'll get arrogant."

The result of this match was unexpected, sparking widespread discussion and controversy among viewers, mainly because Xu Yuebing's flying sand move was too dirty.

As a result, many young people watching the live stream online are thinking about whether they should major in wind direction.

If you can't beat them, then join them.

Soon, Ye Qingzhou's first match in the round of 16 officially began with the referee's announcement.

"Li Wei from Xiangtan Railway Middle School No. 019 will face Ye Qingzhou from Linjiang No. 1 Middle School No. 404."

Seeing Ye Qingzhou walk onto the stage unharmed, Li Wei cursed inwardly that the butler was a complete waste, unable to handle even such a small matter.

Facing Ye Qingzhou, he knew he had no chance of winning, but under the watchful eyes of everyone, he couldn't bring himself to perform the feat of using the Golden Dragon Escape.

"You wretched wretch, keep gloating for now. After the competition, you'll regret it for the rest of your life!"

Li Wei hardened his heart, clearly not giving up his plan to hire a killer.
